Three teenagers were arrested after they allegedly stole alcohol from a convenience store and shoved an employee before fleeing on foot.

Vancouver police were called to Mini Mart at 2900 E. 20th St. for a reported strong-arm robbery.

Two males, 15 and 17, were found and arrested on suspicion of second-degree robbery, minor in possession and obstructing a law enforcement officer, according to Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp. A third male, 14, was later found and arrested on suspicion of third-degree theft, minor in possession of alcohol and obstruction of an officer, Kapp said.

A fourth teen was with the other juveniles but was found to be unaware of the theft and returned to the store to speak with police, Kapp said.

All four teenagers were runaways from the Daybreak Youth Center, an organization that treats teens for drug and alcohol abuse.
